Objective

Asymmetry of pelvic floor innervations is the major risk factor in the young to develop incontinence at higher age. The project aims to develop a non-invasive measurement system to identify and quantify the role of asymmetry in patients with incontinence, and to develop easy-to-use clinical diagnosis and treatment procedures for identification, prevention, or delay of the onset of incontinence based on surface-EMG measures.
